Midsummer night, on the outskirts of Pengcheng.

Fu Ming was holding a knife on the ground, stepping on the corpse with one foot, his thin lips hooked an indifferent and sarcastic smile, and said contemptuously to the black-clothed masked people around him: "There is a way in heaven, you don't go, you have to do it if there is no door to hell!" But the fourth master has the virtue of a good life, the last chance, will you go? ”

The Assassins looked at the corpses of their companions scattered all over the place, hesitating. The leader suppressed his voice and said: "I have never heard of anyone who can turn back after walking on this road, today he will either die, or we will die!" Don't be fooled by him, he's at the end of his rope, buddies go up together and chop him into pulp! ”

The assassins swarmed up, Fu Mingzheng sighed, raised the knife sharply and shouted, which frightened the assassins to take a step back, but he did not attack, but smiled and turned back to ask the few remaining companions: "Have you rested enough?" After receiving an affirmative reply, he burst out laughing: "Then go on!" Each has a destiny! Those who survive must send the news out and avenge everyone! ”

He was the first to rush into the crowd with his knife in hand, and everywhere he passed, he was not afraid of death or pain, and the assassin was rushed out of a gap by them, and the gap quickly closed again...... The sky grew darker and darker, and even the crescent moon on the edge of the sky was hidden in the dark clouds, and only the sword was silently slashed and slashed between heaven and earth, and the moans and cries for mercy could not be heard.

I don't know how long later, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and someone shouted: "There's movement over there, go over and take a look!" A group of people held torches aloft and cautiously rode horses to outflank them, led by a handsome young man, who shouted, "What people? Dare to gather a crowd to fight and kill, aren't you afraid of the king's law? Stop it! ”

Fu Mingzheng hurriedly glanced at the thin and strict young man, and then looked at the more than a dozen big men with knives behind him, and immediately shouted: "Young man, help!" This gang of bandits blocks the road and robs, seeks money and kills! ”

Not to be outdone, the leader of the assassins shouted: "They are the Jiangyang thieves!" Don't be nosy! ”

The young man pointed at the assassin majestically and shouted: "I see that you people are hiding your heads and showing your tails, you are definitely not good people, all listen to my orders, and immediately put down the sword in your hand, otherwise don't blame Young Master Ben for not being merciful!" ”

Fu Mingzheng smiled and gave his companion a look, and the companion understood, sneaked over and stabbed the young man's horse, and the person turned over on his back, and there was chaos. With the help of his companions, the boy got up angrily, blushed and said, "Give it to me!" ”

Fu Mingzheng laughed with satisfaction, it was really a desperate situation.

At dawn, the exhausted Fu Mingzheng finally managed to avoid everyone, hiding in the recesses of the rocks and spreading his limbs to rest. He pressed the briefcase in his arms with a heavy heart, and the lives of more than a dozen colleagues were saved, so even if he was crawling on his knees, he had to return to the capital and hand it over.

A small snake the thickness of a finger crept silently along the stone wall, rising like lightning and facing him. The sudden severe pain made Fu Mingzheng sit up in horror, his hand was up and down, and the little snake's head was already separated.

"Fourth Master Fu is very skilled." Someone clapped his hands lightly twice, and ghostly came out from behind the rocks, dressed in black and masked, with a low voice, it was the leader of the assassins. He pointed the long knife in his hand at Fu Mingzheng obliquely, and the smile in his tone couldn't be hidden: "I have an antidote, give me something, maybe I can spare your life." ”

The wound is already paralyzed, and the snake venom will soon travel along the bloodstream throughout the body, and then take everything with it. It turned out that the date of his death was today, the place of death was here, and the cause of death was snake venom, not a ten-mile long street, sniping in the dark, and his body and head were separated...... Fu Mingzheng heard his heartbeat like a loud sound, and even every time he beat, he felt that his whole body trembled. Snake venom is such a thing, usually the more you move, the faster you die, he smiled and beckoned to the Assassin leader, and said calmly, "You think I will carry such an important thing with me?" Come here, I'll tell you where, you give me the antidote. ”

The leader of the assassins was suspicious, but he didn't dare to approach Fu Mingzheng, who didn't know that this Fu Siye was insidious, cunning and vicious? So many people didn't kill him, which shows that he is really cunning. Maybe you'll be killed by something strange if you get past it, so it's better to keep a proper distance and wait for him to die.

Fu Mingzheng saw that he was not fooled, so he had to sigh and said sadly: "How much silver did they give you to take my life?" ”

The leader of the Assassins, who was about to accompany him in order to find out the whereabouts of the secret letter, replied, "Not much, five thousand taels of silver." ”

Fu Mingzheng sneered: "It turns out that the life of the fourth master is only worth five thousand taels of silver." My unscrupulous uncle and aunt are really poisonous, I am the eldest grandson of the authentic sister-in-law, and I am diligent and motivated, and it is only natural for my grandfather to pass on the family business to me, they want to, and tell me, I may not refuse to give it, but I want to kill me by such a selfish means, it is too vicious. ”

The leader of the Assassins was very baffled. This Fu Siye went out of Beijing on business to investigate the case, and he was ordered by the Min family that he didn't let him do things, fighting for government affairs, fighting for the court situation, how could he be involved with some uncle and nephew? But no matter what, today is Fu Mingzheng's death date, so he didn't defend himself, but said: "There is a debtor and a master, since Fourth Master Fu knows who wants your life, go to him after you die." ”

Seeing that the sky was already white, he was restless in his heart, and said with a cruel smile: "Where is the thing?" But if you don't say it, I'll cut off your left foot, and then my right foot, and cut it up like a lotus root, and see if the venom of the snake is quicker, or if the blood is clean. ”

Fu Mingzheng smiled silently, the assassin was furious, raised his knife and slashed at Fu Mingzheng, but he heard a "whew", and an object smashed towards him head-on, before he could figure out what this secret weapon was, he heard the wind in the back of his head again, and the cold breath carried by the blade pierced into the pores, and the heavy killing intent made the hairs on his body stand up. He wanted to turn back, and he did, but as he saw the attacker clearly, he fell heavily to the ground.

In the faint morning light, a thin young man in a blue robe held a long knife in his hand, there was no blood on his face, and his teeth struck up and down, but his hands were very steady, and his eyes were very resolute, he kicked the assassin viciously, and whispered, "Damn thief! ”

The rising sun illuminated the fine fluff on the young man's face, and his hand holding the knife was also snow-white and beautiful, Fu Mingzheng squinted at him for a while, and showed a weak smile at him: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”
